Re: Analysis Swap: Alushi
might be that Owisshak and Fawi come from different protowords but converged semantically, so comparing them might not actually glean anything... their only similarity is "wi" as the second syllable, which leads me to this conclusion note that "fawi" is the same word as in "...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
This is something new in Daas I added to avoid excessively long /ɑ::/ and /ɛ::/ Vowel Repetition Due to Affixes: Two a’s: the second “a” becomes “e”. Two e’s: second “e” becomes “a” Isn't this technically vowel harmony? This is called dissimilation . Vowel harmony involves assimilation and is gener...

Lamprian (Bright Way) doctrine combines tenents of pantheism and animism. They believe Starmaker willed the universe into existence and is the same as it at the same time both creating and transforming into a cosmic womb (star-womb) from which they brought forth the stars. They believe everything h...
